My New Boat

[crazywalrus]

Picked up the boat in Harvey Bay Today - Happy man a the moment. The photos are poor from the phone while I was getting it registered. All I need to do is wire it up tomorrow.

5.5m Centre Console Plate Aluminium

Goddamn Ted! That's not a boat, that's a mothership So when we going fishing? :whistle:

[Jords]

Monster boat! Lucky I've got tomorrow off, I guess we'd better go test run it :whistle:

Yakkers beware, that thing looks dangerous!

[Gary_C]

Hot Damn Ted! She's a beauty! :woohoo: Very glad you were able to get it all sorted

What are you planning to name it? As shiny as she is, I'm thinking Mirror Mirror would fit :silly:

yeah keen to get it out on the water need to finish the fit out. I was going to give it a run in Harvey Bay but forgot the Anchor and did not want the first run to end up with a fine.

Not sure on a name. I am sure the shine will go quickly

[Old Scaley]

Not many places you can't go in that thing, Ted. I think a lot of us are experiencing severe boat envy right now.

Looks great Ted. Looks like a very seaworthy boat. Plenty of freeboard.

All you need now is to put one of these on the dash:

Hi Dom - Funny you say that I ordered it two days ago from J&H Products :woohoo:

[sehrguht]

What a beast! did you end making a decision on whether to paint or not?

[regulated]

Very nice mate. Hope you clean up once its in the water.

[Malcolm]

unreal Ted what a ripper

[PlasticFantastic]

Yeah that's a pretty good looking boat there Ted, you should be able to hit up Boat Rock and the whole offshore fishing scene now and seeing as though Andrews not keen on the fly boys as deckies if you take me offshore with the fly gear I'll put you onto some Gt's.

Cheers

Mark

[aussie123]

Heya Ted

That is one fine looking hull with beautiful lines.

She needs a few bill marks and gaff scrapes now to make it look like a real fishing boat.

Well done mate,you and the boys are going to get a hell of a lot of pleasure out of that girl.

Hey Mark

What sort of fly rod do you have to handle those huge GT's

Mate keeping it unpainted SOOOO much easier

Sounds like a plan

[kmcrosby78]

Sweet looking rig Ted - I can just see a big Mack or Cobia coming over the side now!!!! Look out any fish in the Gold Coast vicinity the weekend of the Wavebreak trip!!!!!!!

Can you remind me of who makes it again - my brother is looking at bringing in something similar but around the 16ft size.

Have a great Xmas mate - see you on the water in 2012.

[Eug]

Crazyman that is stupidly cool!

[sehrguht]

I wish mine wasn't painted sometimes, everything dirty shows up on white.

Enjoy Christmas - hope to catch up for a beer at wavebreak soon

[wesfish]

man thatt would be an unreal feeling knowing you have the chance to head offshore when ever ya bloody feel like it!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: perfect rig in my eyes

[ellicat]

Mate, I an so sorry for you. You'll have to take it back as it's too big for you

Planking on that motor will be easier but when you fall in it's gonna be hard to get you back in :woohoo: Also, I don't think willy is big enough to reach over the side :blush:

Did he give you a reasonable size anchor chain ? :whistle:

[sweresy]

[Bi_polar]

I am going to have to have workplace health and safety accompany you for the next week Ted, so they can worn people not to trip over your grin.....

[Manni79]

Congrats Ted. Hope it brings you heaps of new mojo!!

[Shane69]

Very nice boat ted.

Cant wait to see it in person.

Welcome to the world of centerconsoles. Have you taken it out yet. Do you get wet.

Im so jealous of your t top. I want to put one on mine but scared it will take up too much space.

[dassa]

I've said it before and I'll say it again that is a beast of a unit,there will be no going around and Island you can just make your own way through and the name for your new boat ISLAND HOPER Australia,new Zealand,Fiji you get the idea LOL.

P.S even the misses went holy crap on a cracker there maybe 1 of them in my back yard next year with a lot of luck.

That was the first rescue when the Merc carked it and VMR Carindale (aka Chubbstar) came to the rescue. Ted could just put mine inside his if needed

[daveylad]
